Ted Talks Visual Perception

While I was searching YouTube today, I came across an interesting Ted Talk about visual perception, which just so happens to be the subject we are covering in class. In the video, Daniel Simons speaks about vision and perception almost as if it were an alternate reality. Simons shows several illusions in his presentation, that show how our vision can easily be distorted and/ or tricked into seeing something as it does not appear. Simons also makes a reference to the phenomena we learned in class called Lateral Inhibition. Overall, the video is extremely informative, and helps to clearly show how visual perception can easily be manipulated. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Il_D3Xt9W0

Perception

The psychology of Perception involves the interaction of our senses and our conscious mind. Perception is involved in every aspect of our lives as we make decisions and judgments based on what we experience. If you study diligently you will leave this course with a broad understanding of sensation and perception. From this general understanding you will be able to further investigate areas of interest by means of literature review and research on specific topics.
